"I needed a companion on the show" – Bright Morgan
Bright Morgan has shared the reason he cheated on his American lover with Mide while on Big Brother Naija. According to him, he needed a companion while in Biggie's house, and he found one in Mide.
"It was a tough moment for me. At a point in the house, I needed a companion, and then Mide came along. It was natural, not forced. It happened, and I saw it for myself. During my Diary session with Big Brother, I told him how I felt. At the end of the day, what happened, happened."
"No going back with Mide" – Bright Morgan
When asked what he plans to do now that he’s out of the show, Morgan said he will continue his relationship with Mide, expressing that he has found someone right for him.
"I am looking for something more than friendship, but she also has a part to play. She has to say what she wants. I want her, and now she has to say it as well."
"I haven’t seen my American lover" – Morgan says
Bright also spoke about his American lover and his plans for her.
"No, I have not seen her. We are supposed to have a conversation. When it happens, I will let you know."
"I had to set boundaries with Dede" – Bright Morgan shares
When asked why he didn’t get along with Dede, his lover's friend on the show, he explained his actions towards her.
"I think it was all about setting boundaries. There was already a narrative about me with Dede. You know how rumors fly. And the fact that Mide and Dede are close, I just wanted to set boundaries. I don’t dislike Dede. I had an issue with her on the first day I got into the house. It wasn’t actually a big deal, but I was upset. I confronted her, and she said some things were personal, and I understood. Moving forward, I don’t have to be friends with everyone. We are good now. She is like the closest friend to Mide at that time, so what was I supposed to discuss with her?"
"I had no winning strategy" – Morgan says
Speaking about his strategy to win, Morgan stated that he didn’t have one.
"I just went into the house with my personality, showed my talent to the world, and wanted to be myself."
"My two strikes made me realise myself" – Morgan says
The former housemate, who recently reacted to his American lover’s rant, spoke on the changes he made during the reality show.
"The strikes didn’t affect me. Even before the two strikes, I had a self-realization. I knew I had to work on myself, so I wouldn’t get so tense or triggered. I just wanted to be a better person."
"My eyes are on Hollywood" – Bright divulges
"My plan is to focus on my brand as an actor. I want to focus on other platforms aside from YouTube where I can showcase my work. I’ll put a lot of hard work and energy into what I do. I also plan to attend film school abroad and launch my career in Hollywood."

Thelma Lawson speaks about her relationships on the show
When asked about her feelings after being evicted, Lawson said she wasn’t shocked.
"It didn’t come as a shock to me. When I got into the house, I saw a lot of ladies and noticed their uniqueness. I thought, even if I didn’t win, I should still show up for my brand. That’s why I always looked my best on Sundays, so if I had to climb the stage, I’d look my best."
"My brand was my winning atrategy" – Lawson
The reality star, who had a fight with Imisi, spoke about her winning strategy on the show.
"Everybody thinks everything I say is about being proud, but no, my winning strategy was to be a boss lady. That’s who I am. I wanted to show my strength and energy so that people could see me for who I am. I wanted to be myself so that when I came out of the house, people would see the upgraded version of me, a better person. My fashion was another strategy. I wanted to always stay stylish."

"I can settle with Isabella off-camera" – Thelma says
While on the reality show, Thelma had a fallout with Isabella, and many were surprised because they both came from Port Harcourt. Addressing the feud, she said she tried to be friends with her, but things didn’t work out.
"It was sad that we didn’t get to be friends. I tried to be close to her because she also had a son. It’s unfortunate that my friend Kayikunmi was also in the house, and when I invited Kayikunmi to the lounge, I wasn’t comfortable with her reaction. There was a bracelet I gave her, and anytime we quarreled, I’d see her wearing the bracelet and think, ‘You’re not serious.’ If we were to settle our quarrel, it would be off-camera."
It was emotional leaving my son for BBN" – Thelma says
"It was a lot for me, which is why I tried to avoid talking about him. There was a day I woke up and cried. The camera didn’t capture 99.9% of the time I cried because of him. Once I mentioned family or friends in the house, I’d become emotional. I had a lot of crying sessions that most of the housemates didn’t see."
